Pet care experience

I am an MSW student and small business owner who has been in Luzerne County for a little over two years. As a pet owner, I know how stressful it can be to leave your furry family members behind when you're away. I bring over 30 years of pet ownership experience with me when I come to care for your pets. I love hiking and exploring the outdoors and also love a day on the couch watching movies. I no have issues hitting a 10 mile trail with an energetic dog or spending the day watching Star Wars with a docile cat. I have a dog and a cat of my own and nothing in the world makes me happier than spending time with them. I am excited to bring the same energy to your dogs and cats!

Andrew is a true gem! This was my first time using a dog-sitting service, and he set the bar incredibly high. From the moment we first connected, he was so helpful and reassuring. He took amazing care of my dog, providing constant attention and making sure all his needs were met. I loved getting his regular check-ins and thoughtful notes—it made me feel so connected to my dog even though I was away. I would recommend Andrew without a moment's hesitation and look forward to booking with him again in the future!

Andrew is the best! He was very attentive to our cats and send photos daily. We weren’t worried at all! Communication was wonderful and no issues at all. Would highly recommend him.

Andrew was incredible!! He watched our 2 cats while we were out of town for about a week and was very quick to respond and sent us lots of pictures. He was very accommodating to some last minute changes and was so good with our little kitties!! Will definitely be using his services again. Highly recommend!

Safety, trust & environment

I understand how tough it can be to invite a stranger into your home to care for your pets. As a pet owner myself, my aim is to follow your precise instructions and make sure all of your pet's needs are met. My dog is getting up there in age and requires daily oral medication. She also isn't a fan of taking her pills. I am no stranger to coming up with inventive ways of getting my pets to take their medicine.

Information Andrew M. would like to know about your pet

Does your dog prefer their daily meds in some cheese or lunch meat? Is your cat allowed to spend time outside? Let me know ahead of time and I will cater to any and all needs.

A typical day

I love hiking and long walks. We can take as many as your furry friends need. Does your dog prefer a rousing game of fetch in your yard? Let's break a new fetch record. Whether your dog or cat is a gobbler or a grazer, I will ensure they get their regular meals the way they like them. Any bed time rituals? I know my pets have them. I will do whatever is needed to ensure they have a happy and safe sleep.

Availability

I am open and available and have a very flexible schedule. I would prefer to set up bookings with about 1-2 weeks of advance notice. Any earlier and I might already be booked. Any further out is too far in advance for me to commit. I am currently focusing the bulk of my time on an online grad school program. I can bring my work with me when needed. I am basically available 24/7.
